gavin, just quickly from you on this, if you can, do you think that borisjohnson would get away with breaking the tax promise to pay for social care? yes. you know, it'll be embarrassing, and some voters will— understandably be angry about it. i actually agree with this. i don't think national- insurance is the best tax to look at for the reasons that she articulated. - our politics is in a mess l generally at the moment, | but i hope labour would recognise| the social care needs more money, and given our fiscal position, - that is going to require a tax rise. and, of course, it's legitimate to point out when you're - breaking your manifesto promise, | but that is what needs to happenl in order to solve this problem. that's going to be very interesting to watch and see. very interesting indeed, because there are tory nerves, seriously — notjust about putting the tax up, but actually about putting the tax up without making the case for it before. enough people around the westminster village went, hang on, just got to do this in a way that is a sort of properly thought through.
